To start off..I know I never blog. I'm usually reading all of the posts here at Destructoid and on occasion comment and leave my 2 cents (sometimes 4 cents..sometimes a dollar).
But lately I've been bothered to write this blog so I can get my hatred, yes hatred, out of my mind. Why do I get so angry?
The countless servers I go into when I play a match of COD4 (on the PC) have rules on "No Cursing". I understand rules like "No Nade Spamming", "No Griefing", or "No Hacking"..but no cursing? Give me a break! If I go into a server I expect there to be at least some minimal cursing. I've questioned admins who have the rule about it and so far the only answer I've ever dragged out of them was "there are children playing".
......
You're sitting there..shooting down Marines, SAS, or OpFor..and you're telling me that we can't curse because the children are playing? Blood and bullets..but no words? One response I got from admin was an insta-kick. He "didn't appreciate me questioning his authority"...over one server space on the internet...
So I haven't gotton a straightforward logical answer from ANYONE yet on why I can't even burst out a "SHIT!". I mean..for God's sake the characters curse in the single player.
Well..I said I've been wanting to write this for awhile...the tip of the iceburg was when I went into a server and nearly got kicked (I left before it could happen) for saying "bull".
Thank you Ignorant Peoples of the Internet for causing me so much damn grief (oh wait..I can't say that because of the children).
Yeah that is kind of retarded, with it being an M-Rated game and all. I guess I should tell my Nieces and Nephews to mind their 'P's and Q's' when playing Manhunt 2.
There are fuckin rules? I have the PS3 version, and I must yell 'cunt', 'fuck' and 'shit' about 100 times. And why would children be playng CoD4, it's an M-rated game chrissakes.
Yea..infact..COD4 server rules seem to be the most strict and retarded out of all the online games I've been playing (Team Fortress 2, CS:S, Zombie Master, DoD:S). Consider yourself lucky if you own it for PS3 of 360..you don't have to deal with Admins that feel they have to make up for their manhood.
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

That sucks, maybe you should host your own server?
I'm lucky that matchmaking in XBL doesn't have hosts, so I can swear until my head comes off if I like.

I'm pretty sure this rule is more to make it sound like COD4 instead of your average halo game, which has people swearing all the time.

I tend to ignore the rules when playing it on PC. But then, I don't generally chat a lot, and when I do it's about the wonders of Jesus for your life.
It's ok to shoot nazis, terrorists, cyborg ninjas, and a reanimated zombie Hitler with a grenade launcher, but God help you if you drop the F bomb.
Fucking amazing.
